Size depends at which angle you measure

[that one guy]

Well ever since I started, I've always done my measuring sitting down. But a lot of people on this site measure while standing up. I tried this but noticed that my size decreases quite significantly while standing up :/ Question is, which one is the RIGHT way of measuring?? Just want to make sure I know where I stand when it comes to size comparison to others/average and all that

I'm the opposite because i always measure standing up and my standing up measurement is slightly bigger than my sitting down measurement. I will always continue to measure standing up because that's how i measured when i started.

I guess as long as you measure the exact same way every time it doesn't really matter which way you measure (standing, sitting or lying down).

Yeah you have a point. It's odd though that both of ours vary in the opposite way since yours is larger when standing and mine when sitting. What do you think it has to do with?

I'm like shlittle, standing up it's better for me

 

[schlittle]

Who knows. Although from what i read i'm the weird one because most guys seem to measure longer whilst sitting or lying down (lol so you are the normal one).

miami: thanks man, i still don't know why everyone tells me that about the bpel and nbpel difference, i'm not exactly the skinniest person around either so not sure why it's that way lol

I measure sitting down and standing up.

I measure sitting personally. Just do it the same way you did when you started. Consistency is quite important... gotta make sure the gains are gains.

it must depend on ligament

I measure lying down. Each person is different. Like everyone says, just measure the same way each time. Otherwise, you'll drive yourself crazy.

Yeah maybe the reason I chose to "pick" measuring while sitting down is because I usually prefer girl on top so that's the size she's going to be feeling anyway lol
